Official rettu•ns are now available
in a great many of the ceinities and.
alt of• the cities, and the result is a
very. great ,inerease in the total vote
cast for prohibitory legislation. The
summary compiled up to Menday
morning shows that the vote for the
net totals 150,57E3. As• the northern
sections of the province have sent
very incomplete returns, and some
of the more thickly -settled counties
40 have also to complete their returns,
1the total may yet be increa.sed to
100,000, with probably 90,000
